Rule based on Tags where two tags already exist

I have a number of files in a folder that already have <Tag A>, and <Tab B> Assigned.

I'd like to move any files out that have a new tag assigned that isn't <Tag A> or <Tag B>,

e.g. Tags: <Tag A>, <Tag B> <-- Not moved
Tags: <Tag A>, <Tag B>, <Tag C> <-- Moved
Tags: <Tag A>, <Tag B>, <Tag D> <-- Moved

In essence move any files that have any tag in addition to <Tag A> & <Tag B>

Hmm, maybe you can use a custom list item attribute? Set up a list of tags and use a condition like "Tags do not contain match" with that attribute. You may need to match that with a checks to make sure the other two tags are there.

Thanks for the input.
The list of additional tags isn't fixed, so tricky to create a customer list.

The way I solved it was to:
① Remove <Tag A>, and <Tag B> from any files in the folder
② Move out any files with tags, that hadn't been modified in the last 5 minutes (so that I could edit the tag set), and add <Tag A>, and <Tag B> back in with the move

That would work too. A bit more convoluted but logically probably easier to handle.
